Hi,

I'm running with kernel 3.1 RC6 and the issue with going out of sleep is 
still present. I did however experiment with upgrading my mesa stack, 
but it actually got worse - when I log into gnome with an external 
monitor on, it goes blank instead of showing my desktop....

So i'm very curios to find out if the issue lies in the kernel or in the 
mesa stack somewhere.
